There are two sources for cis-9, trans-11 CLA synthesis in ruminant
animals: 1) the rumen via incomplete biohydrogenation of linoleic
acid, and 2) desaturation of trans-11 18:1 (vaccenic acid; VA) by the
9-desaturase enzyme in animal tissues

The role of conjugated linoleic acid in reducing body fat and
preventing holiday weight gain.Watras AC, Buchholz AC, Close RN, Zhang
Z, Schoeller DA.
Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison,
Madison, WI 53706, USA.
OBJECTIVE:
The incidence of obesity and overweight in the US has increased
considerably during the past two decades and currently affects 65% of
the adult population. Research has indicated that small, yet
irreversible, gains during the holiday season contribute to increases
in weight during adulthood. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a
naturally occurring dietary fatty acid, has been found to reduce
weight gain and dramatically decrease fat mass in animals. Although
research in humans has shown inconsistent results, most studies have
been of insufficient duration or have utilized body composition
methods that are less accurate than the currently accepted criterion.
DESIGN:
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 3.2 g/day CLA
for 6 months. SUBJECTS:
Forty healthy, overweight subjects (age: 18-44 years; body mass index:
25-30 kg/m(2)).
MEASUREMENTS:
Body composition by the four-compartment model, resting metabolic rate
(RMR) by indirect calorimetry, self-reported physical activity and
dietary intake, and blood chemistries were determined at baseline and
after 6 months. Body weight was measured monthly during the pre-
holiday season (August-October), holiday season (November-December)
and post-holiday season (January-March). Adverse events were assessed
monthly.
RESULTS:
Compared to CLA, the placebo group showed a greater rate of weight
gain during the holiday season (P=0.01). Within the placebo group,
holiday weight change was significantly greater compared to the pre-
holiday period (August-October) (P=0.03). Six-month change in body
composition was improved with CLA compared to placebo (P=0.02), and
body fat was significantly reduced within the CLA group (-1.0+/-2.2
kg, P=0.05). CLA had no effect on RMR, physical activity or dietary
intake. The rate of reported negative emotions decreased significantly
with CLA, although there was no difference in any other category of
adverse event. In comparison to the placebo, CLA did not affect
insulin resistance, blood lipids and markers of liver function or
markers of inflammation, with the exception of a significant decrease
in a biomarker of endothelial dysfunction.
CONCLUSION:
CLA supplementation among overweight adults significantly reduced body
fat over 6 months and prevented weight gain during the holiday season.
Although no adverse effects were seen, additional studies should
evaluate the effect of prolonged use of CLA.

In Physiology
Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid used in the biosynthesis
of prostaglandins. It is found in the lipids of cell membranes. It is
abundant in many vegetable oils, especially safflower and sunflower
oils.
It is easy to meet the daily requirement for these fatty acids (even
for people consuming low fat diets) and most people get plenty of
omega-6 fatty acids in their diet by consuming approximately a
tablespoon of polyunsaturated plant oils per day.

Summary Lecithin was prepared from crude soybean phosphatides by the
Pangborn modification of the cadmium chloride method. Results of
analysis indicated that this preparation was 97 per cent lecithin and
3 per cent cephalin. Its fatty acid composition was as follows:
palmitic-15.77 per cent; stearic-6.30 per cent; oleic-12.98 per cent;
linoleic-62.92 per cent; linolenic-2.02 per cent.

that's another issue... <<
You pulled almost every tack out of the book on this .. thread ..
